Petersfield will be one of the first rural places in England to get full fibre broadband across the whole town.
Telecoms infrastructure company Openreach has earmarked our town to receive the upgrade, with work starting within the next three months.
Connie Dixon of Openreach says we got bumped up the list because many of their engineers live in this area.
She is speaking to Shine Radio’s Stephen Martin.
You can check if your home or business will be covered by the new full fibre network at openreach.com – this is the area being upgraded.
Just wondering – have they actually started work ?
Nothing found on openreach.com for my house address which is well inside the area identified
Hi John – we reported on 24 September that around 40 engineers are currently working on this project. We understand areas around Rushes Road will be among the first to be upgraded and the whole town will take more than a year to complete. Openreach has plenty of roadworks booked-in across the coming weeks including work at the corner of Chapel Street / Station Road next month and on the Winchester Road / Beckham Lane area in January.
Really helpful snippet! New to the area and are glad to be finding local information.
Any chance you know what areas are due to be worked on? Or have a link to show what’s being sorted out next.
Thanks, Be
Any idea when this upgrade will arrive on Moggs Mead? I work from home and my 80/20 SOGEA is proving to be a bit wimpy with the amount of uploading I have to do from time to time.
